||
| Derived Attributes (top) | ||
| 攻撃力 | Attack Power | ATK |
|
How hard the character hits. This opposes target Defense Power when calculating damage inflicted. Attack Power is Strength plus weapon attack and any bonuses or penalities. |
||
| 防御力 | Defense Power | DEF |
|
How well the character fares when being hit. This opposes attacker attack when determining damage taken. Defense Power is Stamina plus armor defense and any bonuses or penalties. |
||
| 行動力 | Mobility | ACT |
|
How quickly the character can act during any given round of combat. May also affect hit rate and success rate when trying to flee combat. Mobility is Agility minus equipment weight, plus any bonuses or penalties. |
||
| 特防力 | Special Defense | MAG |
|
Proportionally reduces damage from magic, but ONLY when guarding. Relatively useless. Special Defense is... huh. Not sure, but Wisdom seems to boost it and equipment weight to detract from it. |
||
| 知力 | Intelligence | INT |
|
Probably affects the success rate of spells that can fail (both when casting one and when the target of one). Intelligence is Wisdom plus any bonuses or penalties. |
||
| 運勢 | Fortune | FATE |
|
Probably affects critical hit rate and evasion chance. Fortune is Luck plus any bonuses or penalties. |
||
| Basic Attributes (center) | ||

|
How much combat experience the character has. Kill monsters to get more. Experience gained is split evenly between surviving characters, including those not on active duty. Note that the amount of experience needed to level varies considerably between characters, and that there is no indication of how much experience they need to gain any given level. |
